Corrections and clarifications

• Some readers queried the suggestion in a TV review (A story so amazing it almost makes you forgive Prince Philip, 22 August, page 21, G2) that the future Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was "sent to boarding school in England", pointing out that he attended Gordonstoun, in Scotland. However, before attending Gordonstoun the duke was a pupil at Cheam school, a boarding preparatory school which was then in Surrey but later moved to Hampshire. In the same article, an editing error led to Battenberg being misspelled as Battenburg.

• An article about ice melt in the Arctic referred to research published in Nature which "said that warming in the Antarctic, where temperatures have risen about 1.5C over the past 50 years, is 'unusual' but not unprecedented relative to natural variation". To clarify: the research in Nature refers to warming in an area of the Antarctic peninsula, which is itself only a small part of the continent (Arctic ice melt likely to break record as 100,000 sq km disappears per day, 24 August, page 22).
